Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:19-CR-190-1 ______________________________

Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Harold Godbolt has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Godbolt has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We Case: 23-11073 Document: 46-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/02/2024

No. 23-11073 concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Godbolt’s request to strike counsel’s Anders brief and for an extension of time to file a pro se brief is DENIED as untimely because it was filed after counsel filed an Anders brief. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
